WILLA
âOK, so that wasnât the best idea in the world. It was hardly a well thought out plan of action now, was it Willa?â I sat on the toilet in the bathroom upstairs looking down at the bristle rash I had between my thighs and feeling hot and aching down there all over again. âHaving sex with your biscuit boss, and your landlord wasnât sensible. He might be the sexiest man on the planet, with the most dextrous tongue, but thatâs no excuse.â I wiped, stood, and pulled my still damp pants up. I moved to the sink and looked at myself in the mirror. âAnd the talking to yourself has got worse.â I glanced heavenward. âI blame you Lexi. You canât up and die on people and then expect them to be normal.â I washed my hands, dried them, and went downstairs. Angelica was flicking through a cake book in the kitchen. She glanced up.
âThe spell worked then,â she said.
âHmmmm?â I filled the kettle and put it on a hot plate on the Aga. I had my back to her, which was just as well because I was suddenly hot and pink, and a prickle of sweat had started under my armpits.
âWilla?â I could hear her get up and move across the kitchen. She stood opposite me. âWilla?â
I turned away and took a couple of teacups down from the shelf.
âIt worked, didnât it?! I knew it! You and Tye, youâ¦â She spun me round to face her and my cheeks were flaming. âYou had jiggery pokery, didnât you! You and Tye?!â
âJiggery pokery?â I burst out laughing.
âYes! Willa stop! Stop laughing, Willa?!â
I couldnât. I was bent double. I could hardly breathe.
âWilla?!â Then Angelica began to laugh, mostly at me laughing, I think. And we stood in the kitchen in hysterics until I could get it under control and wipe the tears off my cheeks. Jiggery pokery indeed!
